Concurso de tapas TAPEANDO ISORA

[Janet]

The Ayuntamiento has congratulated all the establishments for making Tapeando Isora 2013 a great success, and has announced the winners of the participants. Winner of the best traditional tapa was Los 5 Sentidos in Calle de Arriba in Guía de Isora itself, for its barquito de pulpo con aromas del monte, and for the most creative tapa, El Rincón de la Barriga in Alcalá, for its Carpaccio de Pulpo!  JA

We had both and although I may not have given them the award, they weren't bad at all. 

Remember the 5 Sentidos is where I was given a bolívar instead of a euro.  Said bolívar works in Mercadona and Iceland trolleys, but not LIDL ones.

ah well, best "Canarian tradition" is right then ..... swindle a few céntimos whenever you can, on principle .....

Guía de Isora has announced the next tapas route competition, Tapeando Isora, the fourth time the event has run, with tapas and a small beer for just €2.50. Again there are prizes on offer for those who get stamps from the establishments taking part: the stamps are to be put on cards available from participating establishments, or in the Tourist Information Offices in Guía de Isora, Playa San Juan and Alcalá . Tapeando Isora is being held between 28 March and 20 April,  and on previous occasions has more than lived up to its promise of promoting Isoran hospitality and cuisine to a wider audience. JA

We already heard about this and are excited!  Have done two of them before and really look forward to this year!

And the winner is Cafeteria Futurama, in Guía de Isora. The restaurant is on the main road through the town, just past the post office and cultural centre, also on the left heading away from Adeje, and opposite the little Dialprix supermarket. Guía de Isora Ayuntamiento said that there was very high public participation in this tapas route and that it had been a great success.

Votes were counted in Alcalá's notary in the presence of representatives from the Ayuntamiento, Guia's Asociación de Empresarios y Comerciantes, and the Hotel Palacio de Isora. Futurama's winning formula was a mini beefburger with peppers and black olive mayonnaise served with julienne potatoes. Once again, though, the real winner is the municipality of Guía de Isora, and the stylistic gastronomic flair for which the area is becoming rightly quite famous. JA
